The marriage alliance between the capital's elite Shen family and the prominent Su clan of Jiangnan sets high society abuzz.
Shen Mochen, the Shen family's playboy heir, is unruly and carefree, while Su Tangyin, the Su family's heiress, is cool and distant. At their first meeting, he sneers in front of everyone, “Her?” Yet on their wedding night, he kneels outside their bridal suite all night, simply because she said, “I don't want this.”
Everyone thinks theirs is a loveless marriage of convenience, but no one knows Shen Mochen has waited twelve whole years for this day.
Twelve years ago, he was a boy who had been kidnapped, and she was a girl passing by. She secretly called the police to save him and left a crabapple blossom by his hand. From that moment on, his sole reason for living was to reach her.
For her, he quells the Su family's internal power struggle, shields her from open attacks and hidden schemes, and reshapes the entire power structure of the capital. But when Su Tangyin finally opens her heart, she discovers an even greater secret behind their marriage:
Her origins, the Shen family's curse, and the bloody entanglement between their two families spanning three generations.
“Su Tangyin, listen carefully. In this life, you can only be mine.”
“And what about the next life?”
“I've got you reserved for the next life, and every life after that.”
